화명수목원

This guide to Hwamyeong Arboretum in Busan opens with a boy made to walk his bike past the gate, under a sign banning balls, bicycles, skateboards and skates. It traces how the roughly 110,000-square-meter site on Geumjeong Mountain's slopes took a decade to plan before opening in March 2011, built for wandering rather than racing. You'll pass a wooden cloud bridge over a still pond and greenhouses of subtropical plants. Stand at the bridge and notice how the crowd slows down.
